Ravi Khemani, the CTO and Co-founder at Ridlr, a mobile application for making public transit easier. He was part and parcel of the organisation even before its inception in May 2010. He holds a Masters degree from the University of Missouri, Kansas (UMKC), United States. When Ravi returned to India, he noticed that there was no way for commuters to know alternate routes to reach their destination faster, unlike in the States where he was used to seeing live traffic information on the GPS, and this gave birth to the idea of Ridlr. Ravi’s hobbies include reading about Tech/Algorithms, Learning, and Programming new tech, and travelling to scenic places.
